Applying for a certificate of legal capacity to marry in Sweden

Are you a Dutch national, living in Sweden and do you need a certificate of legal capacity to marry (hindersprövning)? The Dutch embassy in Stockholm does not issue this certificate. You can get this certificate via the Skatteverket.

Warning: Are you a Dutch national living in the Netherlands (or have you lived in the Netherlands previously)? You can get a certificate of legal capacity to marry from the Dutch municipality where you live or the last municipality you lived in before you left the Netherlands. Go to the website of the relevant municipality for more information.
